Doom and Age of Empires creator Sandy Petersen blasts Amazon over their handling of Stargate:
"1) get handed a massively popular IP that spans 17 years of successful shows."
"2) realize it has millions of loyal fans, desperate for more. They are now in their 40s and 50s, flush with money. Eager to teach their kids & grandkids about Stargate."
"3) you could start with this. You are already three steps up the ladder to huge success. The fans will evangelize it, if you don't wreck the IP. Don't believe it? Look how the fans evangelized Battlestar Galactica after its 30 year hiatus. And the initial Dr Who reboot after 15 years."
"4) cancel the project because you want a "new take" that will eliminate all the loyal fans and turn them into bitter enemies."
"It's like an ancient Greek play about hubris."
Why are corporate execs like this?
A researcher found critical Windows zero-days.
Reported them to Microsoft.
Microsoft denied the bug bounty.
Deleted their account.
Banned them from GitHub.
Then threatened criminal charges.
The researcher dropped six zero-days in six weeks.
Three got used in real attacks within days.
Other researchers are now handing them free vulnerabilities as a gift.
Microsoft’s Digital Crimes Unit is considering legal action.
Against the person whose bugs they refused to pay for.
This is Microsoft’s bug bounty program.
Every time you print from a color printer, hundreds of yellow dots are embedded into the page.
Everything you’ve ever printed can be traced right back to the printer with metadata. Is this surveillance or a useful tool for law enforcement?
🇵🇱 A Polish soldier has been acquitted of all charges, after shooting at migrants crossing the border from Belarus.
The judge said that the soldier was just fulfilling his obligation to defend the border.
No crime was committed.

No - I’m not talking about North Korea.
I’m talking about the EU.
🚨🇪🇺 Von der Leyen linked to Pfizergate, earning €429,600 a year.
Lagarde convicted in a public funds scandal, earning €726,000 a year.
These elites lecture Europeans while pushing the Digital Euro and crushing farmers across the continent.
The EU No Longer Holds Back 🇪🇺🚨
I was just arrested at Munich Airport and prevented from leaving the country.
My fundamental right to freedom of movement has been violated because I allegedly threaten the reputation of the Federal Republic of Germany.
Right before the Remigration Summit, they’re panicking. They’ve already lost every single debate and the culture war.
Every European can see the devastating consequences of the population replacement with his own eyes. So they’re playing their final card: raw repression.
They’re trying to jail Dries Van Langenhove, and now they’ve stopped me from leaving my own country.
They want to scare millions of patriots into submission before they vote for change.
But there’s one thing they forgot in their desperation: repression backfires.
Every unjust arrest and every violation of our rights only draws more attention to our cause and brings more people to our side.
But this only works with your help.
Make them pay: share this post. Tell everyone what’s happening.
And most importantly, join the debate and support @RESUM26.
Because that is precisely what they are trying, and failing, to silence!
#June4 is not just numbers; it’s the blood of innocent students.
History can be censored, but never erased!
If the CCP is so confident in its version of history, why does it still fear people talking about it 37 yrs later? #TiananmenMassacre@FreeAll_protest@Tenam108@Sohnie
In 2008 the European Union and the USA had similar sized economies.
But the European Union chose the path of massive regulations, higher taxes, discouraging businesses from forming and growing.
In 2026, the USA is $30.5 trillion and the EU is only $20 trillion.

OpenTrafficMap ESP32-C5 C-ITS receiver open-source hardware board relies on the ITS-G5 protocol built on top of 802.11p V2X (Vehicle-to-Everything).
It handles incoming wireless signals, decodes C-ITS (Cooperative Intelligent Transport Systems) messages, and feeds the data into OpenTrafficMap for live monitoring of traffic lights, buses, trams, cars.... It costs about 20 Euros.
